Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iWriteMusic Pro SE at Free against Vocal Resonance's $9.99. iWriteMusic Pro SE also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.5). Vocal Resonance's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
